Description: The passage of IDEA 2004 encourages school systems to begin to determine a student’s need for special education services by evaluating the child’s response to “scientific, research-based interventions.” The tiered Response to Intervention (RTI) model is commonly used by many schools, districts and states. This model provides for increasing levels of service delivery but is often not well understood by school system related services providers who struggle to provide adequate and appropriate sensory integration-based services to their students. This webinar will discuss the RTI model and will describe how sensory integration-based services may be provided throughout the various tiers of this model.
